Shivika Jain and her brother Atharv from Delhi have been longing to have a pet since the beginning of lockdown. The golden opportunity to have the joy of being parents to an adorably fleecy pet came when their friend sold a month old Cocker Spaniel to them for over 18,000 bucks. In no time, the duo named their furry goofball of love as Dollar and made it an inseparable part of their life that today completes their family.

“Each passing day of lockdown sank us in an abyss of loneliness and boredom. For a month or two, we spend our time watching zestful funny doggo videos on social media as they give instant respite on a stressful day and some good laughs. Such amazeballs videos amplified our desire to have our pet and wade off the restlessness of that this pandemic has seeped in the air.”
